The analyzer trims unnecessary nodes from the exploded graph before reporting
path diagnostics. However, in some cases it can trim all nodes (including the
error node), leading to an assertion failure (see
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=24184).
This commit addresses the issue by adding two new APIs to CheckerContext to
explicitly create error nodes. Unless the client provides a custom tag, these
APIs tag the node with the checker's tag -- preventing it from being trimmed.
The generateErrorNode() method creates a sink error node, while
generateNonFatalErrorNode() creates an error node for a path that should
continue being explored.
The intent is that one of these two methods should be used whenever a checker
creates an error node.
This commit updates the checkers to use these APIs. These APIs
(unlike addTransition() and generateSink()) do not take an explicit Pred node.
This is because there are not any error nodes in the checkers that were created
with an explicit different than the default (the CheckerContext's Pred node).
It also changes generateSink() to require state and pred nodes (previously
these were optional) to reduce confusion.
Additionally, there were several cases where checkers did check whether a
generated node could be null; we now explicitly check for null in these places.
This commit also includes a test case written by Ying Yi as part of
http://reviews.llvm.org/D12163 (that patch originally addressed this issue but
was reverted because it introduced false positive regressions).

In Objective-C, method calls with nil receivers are essentially no-ops. They
do not fault (although the returned value may be garbage depending on the
declared return type and architecture). Programmers are aware of this
behavior and will complain about a false alarm when the analyzer
diagnoses API violations for method calls when the receiver is known to
be nil.
Rather than require each individual checker to be aware of this behavior
and suppress a warning when the receiver is nil, this commit
changes ExprEngineObjC so that VisitObjCMessage skips calling checker
pre/post handlers when the receiver is definitely nil. Instead, it adds a
new event, ObjCMessageNil, that is only called in that case.
The CallAndMessageChecker explicitly cares about this case, so I've changed it
to add a callback for ObjCMessageNil and moved the logic in PreObjCMessage
that handles nil receivers to the new callback.

Passing a pointer to an uninitialized memory buffer is normally okay,
but if the function is declared to take a pointer-to-const then it's
very unlikely it will be modifying the buffer. In this case the analyzer
should warn that there will likely be a read of uninitialized memory.
This doesn't check all elements of an array, only the first one.
It also doesn't yet check Objective-C methods, only C functions and
C++ methods.
This is controlled by a new check: alpha.core.CallAndMessageUnInitRefArg.

This implements FIXME from Checker.cpp (FIXME: We want to return the package + name of the checker here.) and replaces hardcoded checker names with the new ones obtained via getCheckName().getName().
llvm-svn: 201525
Summary:
In clang-tidy we'd like to know the name of the checker producing each
diagnostic message. PathDiagnostic has BugType and Category fields, which are
both arbitrary human-readable strings, but we need to know the exact name of the
checker in the form that can be used in the CheckersControlList option to
enable/disable the specific checker.
This patch adds the CheckName field to the CheckerBase class, and sets it in
the CheckerManager::registerChecker() method, which gets them from the
CheckerRegistry.
Checkers that implement multiple checks have to store the names of each check
in the respective registerXXXChecker method.

Also add some tests that there is actually a message and that the bug is
actually a hard error. This actually behaved correctly before, because:
- addTransition() doesn't actually add a transition if the new state is null;
it assumes you want to propagate the predecessor forward and does nothing.
- generateSink() is called in order to emit a bug report.
- If at least one new node has been generated, the predecessor node is /not/
propagated forward.
But now it's spelled out explicitly.

Summary:
When processing a call to a function, which got passed less arguments than it
expects, the analyzer would crash.
I've also added a test for that and a analyzer warning which detects these
cases.

The visitor should look for the PreStmt node as the receiver is nil in the PreStmt and this is the node. Also, tag the nil
receiver nodes with a special tag for consistency.

The expression 'a->b.c()' contains a call to the 'c' method of 'a->b'.
We emit an error if 'a' is NULL, but previously didn't actually track
the null value back through the 'a->b' expression, which caused us to
miss important false-positive-suppression cases, including
<rdar://problem/12676053>.

uncovered.
This required manually correcting all of the incorrect main-module
headers I could find, and running the new llvm/utils/sort_includes.py
script over the files.
I also manually added quite a few missing headers that were uncovered by
shuffling the order or moving headers up to be main-module-headers.

This helper function (in the clang::ento::bugreporter namespace) may add more
than one visitor, but conceptually it's tracking a single use of a null or
undefined value and should do so as best it can.
Also, the BugReport parameter has been made a reference to underscore that
it is non-optional.

This is analogous to our handling of pointer dereferences: if we
dereference a pointer that may or may not be null, we assume it's non-null
from then on.
While some implementations of C++ (including ours) allow you to call a
non-virtual method through a null pointer of object type, it is technically
disallowed by the C++ standard, and should not prune out any real paths in
practice.
[class.mfct.non-static]p1: A non-static member function may be called
for an object of its class type, or for an object of a class derived
from its class type...
(a null pointer value does not refer to an object)
We can also make the same assumption about function pointers.

Because of this, we would previously emit NO path notes when a parameter
is constrained to null (because there are no stores). Now we show where we
made the assumption, which is much more useful.

As pointed out by Anna, we only differentiate between explicit message sends
This also adds support for ObjCSubscriptExprs, which are basically the same
as properties in many ways. We were already checking these, but not emitting
nice messages for them.
This depends on the llvm::PointerIntPair change in r160456.
llvm-svn: 160461
The preObjCMessage and postObjCMessage callbacks now take an ObjCMethodCall
argument, which can represent an explicit message send (ObjCMessageSend) or an
implicit message generated by a property access (ObjCPropertyAccess).
llvm-svn: 159559
Previously, the CallEvent subclass ObjCMessageInvocation was just a wrapper
around the existing ObjCMessage abstraction (over message sends and property
accesses). Now, we have abstract CallEvent ObjCMethodCall with subclasses
ObjCMessageSend and ObjCPropertyAccess.
In addition to removing yet another wrapper object, this should make it easy
to add a ObjCSubscriptAccess call event soon.
llvm-svn: 159558
Both of these got uglier rather than cleaner because we don't have preCall and
postCall yet; properly wrapping a CallExpr in a CallEvent requires doing a bit
of deconstruction on the callee. Even when we have preCall and postCall we may
want to expose the current CallEvent to pre/postStmt<CallExpr>.
llvm-svn: 159556
In addition, I've made the pointer and reference typedef 'void' rather than T*
just so they can't get misused. I would've omitted them entirely but
std::distance likes them to be there even if it doesn't use them.
This rolls back r155808 and r155869.

filter_decl_iterator had a weird mismatch where both op* and op-> returned T*
making it difficult to generalize this filtering behavior into a reusable
library of any kind.
This change errs on the side of value, making op-> return T* and op* return
T&.

Essentially, a bug centers around a story for various symbols and regions. We should only include
the path diagnostic events that relate to those symbols and regions.
The pruning is done by associating a set of interesting symbols and regions with a BugReporter, which
can be modified at BugReport creation or by BugReporterVisitors.
This patch reduces the diagnostics emitted in several of our test cases. I've vetted these as
having desired behavior. The only regression is a missing null check diagnostic for the return
value of realloc() in test/Analysis/malloc-plist.c. This will require some investigation to fix,
and I have added a FIXME to the test case.

At this point this is largely cosmetic, but it opens the door to replace
ProgramStateRef with a smart pointer that more eagerly acts in the role
of reclaiming unused ProgramState objects.
